Presentation Transcript

  1. Asexual Reproduction

  2. Asexual Reproduction • Results from mitosis • Offspring are genetically identical to parent cell • Common types: • Binary Fission • Budding • Regeneration

  3. Binary Fission • Completed by single-celled organisms • Simplest form of asexual reproduction • One organisms divides into two through mitosis • Example: Bacteria

  4. Budding • Mulit-celluar organisms “splits” through budding • Offspring are smaller than parent; however, will grow and eventually become the same size • Example: Hydra

  5. Regeneration • When a piece of the parent is detached, it can grow into a new individual • Example: Starfish

  6. Advantages • Quick process to complete • Requires less energy from the organism for reproduction to occur • More reliable and less disadvantageous traits

  7. Disadvantages • No genetic variation • If there is a problem with the species there is no room for change
